If Nokia wants to break through the market with Maemo 5 and 6, they will have to compete with the GPS navigation capabilities of Android. In my opinion any solution much inferior to googles will not cut it, and will drive lots of non maemo fan customers straight into the arms of Android devices

At the very minimum Ovi needs Voice activation, turn by turn, and especially it has to be free/included with the device.

I love maemo and have purchased the N900, but I seriously found myself thinking about the Motorola droid, when I saw the GPS navigation function in action. Tap a button, and tell it where you want to go. I use navigation often, and there is a huge difference between voice activated navigation and something like maemo-mapper.

Maemo-mapper is a great tool, I use it daily, but not very user friendly/intuitive.

It has to be seamless.
OVI needs that!
